I think the skirt could work really well, styled, for a summery boho thing, but if that's not your vibe I think you should feel free to let it go if you're not feeling it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-609002 Tue, 01 May 2012 05:16:08 +0000 AJ 609002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for trying with a shorter top first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608992 Tue, 01 May 2012 04:57:47 +0000 ManidipaM 608992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with both Kari and Tracina. Going shorter on either the top or at the hem might help. Worth a try to pin and see, before you decide to let go, at any rate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608971 Tue, 01 May 2012 04:22:11 +0000 Anonymous 608971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about shorter- like just below the knee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608946 Tue, 01 May 2012 03:35:20 +0000 Kari 608946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie, I also notice that a lot of your tops are longer, coming over the hips, and this skirt seems to be full through the top of the hips which is kind of masking your waistline.</p> <p>Can you try it with a shorter top? If not, maybe keep an eye out for skirts that are a little more fitted through the hips. I'm thinking of Angie's post here on tips for skirt shapes to watch for: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/02/08/full-skirt-alert/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/02/08/full-skirt-alert/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608942 Tue, 01 May 2012 03:31:14 +0000 Anonymous 608942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the copper colored top and black sandals with your black skirt. Could the skirt be taken in if it is too full? Linen seems like a good fabric for your hot summers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608852 Tue, 01 May 2012 02:04:33 +0000 Debbie 608852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you may be right Angie. I like the fabric but I can't seem to make the shape work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608841 Tue, 01 May 2012 01:55:42 +0000 Angie 608841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a little full in the wrong places, doesn't it. Is that why it's an orphan, Debbie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-skirt#post-608839 Tue, 01 May 2012 01:53:59 +0000 Debbie 608839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a closet orphan. Should I try to make it work or donate it. It is not really styled.<br /> Looking at the photo it is a little long. This is linen skirt.<br /> Thank- you for looking! </p>
